Underwater Housing for FS700

[djejmz]

I apologise if this question has been asked a lot, but my google searches did not really prove fruitful.

Someone I know would like to do an underwater shoot using the FS700 - is there any underwater housing that, first of all, works with the FS700, and if so, is available in the UK?

Any help in this matter would be appreciated

2 totally obvious tips: test without the camera inside, and use desiccant pellets.

Here is one that is a little beefier:

And one for the FS100 but might work with the FS700?

We had one custom made. There are many companies who make custom housings. Just do a search on google. Here's some test shots from ours - https://vimeo.com/58758021

hey thanks for all the replies! They're looking to rent (although the bhphotovideo one looks so nice!). Weasel-d, cool vid, could you tell me roughly how much it cost to get that housing made?

They're probably going for this option as it's the most economical option at the moment. Praying that my camera survives haha

Thanks. I think it was around $2800 for the housing. We have had additional ports made for different lenses as well.

andi_FTI You rig looks similar to a friend that makes some here on the north shore. One problem is, is that the depth rating is 30ft max and I'm looking to go downwards near 100ft on freedives. Any luck on a FS700 deep housing besides the bulky equinox?
